Single photon simulation of TCSPC.

Click "Run" to clear the graph and start the photon counting.

You can change the number of fluorescent molecules illuminated
and the probability that a molecule will become excited (equivalent to
increasing the intensity of illuminating light). Increasing these
numbers speed up the acquisition but causes a problem that is
highlighted in the next applet.

Slow the animation down by dragging the "Graph Update Speed"
slider to the left to get a better look at how single photon evens are
accumulated in the bar graph. The counter at the bottom shows how many
photons have been detected.
